This guy is either the calmest most level headed man in the world or yall did a great job editing this video!! Either way he needs a raise after that one!
I know! Right? If it were me, I'd most likely need to machine an insert cause the hole would be so buggered up. :)
I read a forum where a mechanic used a socket under the concrete screw and turned the screw on the socket to get it past the initial corrosion ring. Yet the hammer, chisel, and bushing insert sounds more satisfying. :)
Just use a socket big enough to go around the sensor, then put a washer above the socket, screw in your screw, and the washer will stop on the socket, and pull the sensor put for you as you tighten the screw with much less effort....
You were surprisingly calm during that video lmao I would have cuss words

Lol, Ikr. I don't even curse, and mine made me say some that were not four letter words. He said them, they just got edited out for the kids. Like a 5 year old is going to be working on his truck or something. I think I am going to have to take the timing cover off. Smh
I'm sure he did. Those were edited out I'm sure.
finally a real "reality" video
+Josh Skalicky Thanks for checking us out!
I watched this for encouragement knowing I'm about to head out and attempt this same procedure... But I've gotten none. 😂
Did you get yours out? I'm about to try and remove a stuck one also..
Hi , YEAH ! , Thanks for showing the " Whole Processes / video " , instead of stopping the camera , The Age and Heat Swells the Plastic and oil leaking past the O - ring Makes them stick .Keep up on the Great Video's / Content .. Thank You !!!!

Got myself into the same predicament... this is gonna be fun...
I have this same issue in a 3.5 Pacifica. However it buried with 0 chance of getting tools or a slide hammer into the location. I'm worried the engine will need pulled. . . Thanks Chrysler!
Just did the exact same job today. The sensor head broke off just like this 1. I drilled and tapped a set screw like 1a did, no go. Slide hammered it, no go. I had to drill 3 seperate holes and break it into 3 pieces to get out. My 08 6.0l had 0 corrosion in the mounting hole. It seems the plastic sensor had expanded and would not clear from the back side of the timing cover. This was a 3 hour pain in the a** and I did it on the lift.
Yes, exactly! My 08 was relatively clean, zero corrosion, sensor was larger than it should have been. Was swelled up like a battery ready to blow! Had timing cover off and was near impossible to get out without damaging the cover. Replaced cover and sensor.
That’s was the job right there
Good job getting it done
I don’t think there’s any other way to do it you are the man
I think that you had the set up good, but if you would have put a 1" socket between the washer and the motor, you may have been able to jut tighten the screw and it should have pulled it right out. Good job at staying so calm.
Thanks that helped a lot. Now its time and try to get it out.
+Vinny C Thanks for checking us out!
Used the same concrete screw and a thrown together homemade puller and it worked perfectly Thank you
Great job, never give up 😊
this video looked very familiar. my life story. working on car in north country
It should be illegal to place a part so hard to reach or operate on a car.
Just replace mine on an 6.2l 2007 Denali. Remove the water pump…remove the VVT Solenoid….get behind the sensor from there and pry it out from the back side. I promise this will save you hours upon hours if yours is stuck or broke.
Maybe next time you can just buy a new truck.
But thank you. I’ll have to invest in a slide hammer. I loved seeing the improvisation
Thanks to your video we were able to get ours out pretty easily our slide hammer worked a little better than yours and it popped right out
If I remove the timing cover can I tap the sensor out from the inside?
Or even push it through with my fingers?
3 days. It took me 3 days to get mine out. A huge hex head screw with a shock bushing washer and ball joint separator and a hammer.
What size screw was that you used and drill bit? I am about to attempt this myself. in the same boat.
Pretty good job....the same tool u made u can use it as an extractor...the fork part grabbing the sensor and that big screw with nuts screwing clockwise against a pease of metal over the block will pulled the sensor out...is an extraction movement...pushing and pulling at the same time.
I just did this very same sensor and it got stuck also broke. Was a 4.8 but. I removed the vvt solenoid and pushed it in and pried it with the same bent fork tool he used.
And it was a verbal battle.lol😊
I woulda grabbed the biggest hammer I have and beat the motor smooth to pieces soon as it broke off 😂
Just did mine guys I took off the water pump WD 40 is a must sprayed it over and over wiggled it back and forth bought a small pry bar and used the green ones it took me about three hours bought water pump gaskets and put everything back together trust me you have to be patient because it can break on you
Just did this on my 09 Sierra, I had to drill it out, doing so it broke into pieces and I’m afraid some might have fell behind, i got 97% of it out but I know a small bit fell in. Will that effect anything? Time chain? Or cause damage to the cam/ block?
A year later did you have any problems?
@@ironking76 wondering the same
I’m a few hours in on our old 08 suburban. Taking it out one plastic crumb at a time at this point.
RUclips sold their sole for ads remember this people
So many fools in the comments don’t even now the difference between cam and crank
i have a 2016; Chevy Traverse Lt AWD 3.6 and my cam shaft position sensor is broken in pieces inside the house how do you get it out of the hole to put a new one in its place
What's behind the sencer in the hole I don't know if I got all the sencer out
Pulled the water pump instead of crank pulley. The sensor would spin in the hole. Ended up pulling the cam cover and it pushed right out
I'm having the same problem right now mine is on a 2009 Dodge journey but the problem is the space that I have is not much space to work with any suggestions I got it all out except the case in a plastic casing would it be okay to just drill it out and then suck the rest of the pieces of plastic out with those piece of plastics damage the engine
this was a nightmare on a 2006 dodge 3.3 caravan after reviewing many methods on youtube for removing it I ended up drilling it out using a "Step bit" to drill out the center and create a hole and then using a "Plumbing tool"( an INTERNAL PIPE WRENCH,) it is serrated and has a serrated cam action to grab the inside of a pipe, in this case, plastic and was able to turn and remove the stuck plastic housing after prying and picking at the metal for hrs and with a lot of penetrating oil
Will that sensor make oil leak if o ring no good??? Please tell me having issues my 2007 yukon denali
Wow impressive I'm going through the same thing on a 2007 corvette c6 it's a headache.
Does 1a auto offer that specific tool?
First thing I did drill a hole in the center get the screw in there than get a plyers on the screw stick a long screwdriver in between the plyers all the way to the crank pulley. Pry against the pulley it will come right out
+eddiesgsr Thanks for checking us out!
Dude ima have to try that!!
I'ma try this
Unreal Chevy would make such a crappy part..respect for this tech for his creative solution!
I have the 2012 5.3 is this the same location?
excellent work
That's IT! I'm buying a Yugo. 😤
My buddies broke off inside the motor flush so we had to scrap it. Took hours tryna get it out, tried drilling etc
I have a question hope someone can help me … what happens if a small piece of metal or plastic falls into the camshaft or where the camshaft is ?
this happens on crank sensors all the time even on toyotas.
+death13 Thanks for the feedback!
And dodge as well
@@fishingwithalexx You're right. I'm about to try and remove one from a Durango...
It’s a cam sensor
Good job
My son tapped the sensor into the timing chain cover. Now he can't find it. Where would we look? What would happen if he chooses to run the engine with it missing?
That's my mission for today
+SKILLvsPILLS best of luck to you with your repair!!
When I did it a few things were broken For sure including my knuckle if you know what I mean
my camshaft senor broke passed da washer how i get it out da engine block
I have been digging and nothing is stating if the is V6 or V8 or if it matters. I did find a different youtube channel with a V8 but was showing in the top back of engine. Is the video here covering the 5.3L V8 location? Sorry if I am missing the info. Not the best DIY person.
+IHasRage This video is for the 5.3L V8 engine. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Nice job... but for GM easy you are facing it and have room to hammer.. Dodge Journey 2009, facing towards the back of the vehicle between the block heater and transmission and made of plastic. broke and fro 3 months in Canada trying to wedge a pick and nothing.. so thank you for showing this, another video had the same as me, but used epoxy on the lag bolt, did not think that, so will soon... Thanks again for the video..! *All other vehicles I have had, NEVER had to do this ever... and had mostly GM.. so.. just saying... They do not make them like they used to..!!!
😢I’m working on mine a it’s starting to break. Now I want to scream knowing this is coming 😫
While that’s not a Gen III or IV Chevrolet engine, the problem is the same. I don’t think I’ll ever sell a cam sensor replacement without selling a new timing cover. Those buggars are really stuck! I’ve soaked a removed timing cover in sole entire for days and still was afraid I was going to damage the cover driving the sensor out from the back side, it’s ridiculous!
Found that pulling hard to one side did the trick
Why don't GM keep things simple like Toyota!
this happens on Toyotas i just had one break off on my rav4
Can the car actually still run with that sensor broke?
How about you can take out the whole sensor but the inside part that goes to the engine is broken? How could that happen?
The old Vulcan wins again!
I took mine out but a little piece inside the hole fell back into it,will that hurt my motor
+jac Black Thanks for the feedback!
Same here did you have any problems ?
what happens if parts fall inside?
Put neverseze on the new one even though it's plastic
I have my ls3 in pieces for a rebuild .. 'To sell after finished' I just wanted to remove my sensor to wash the cover ... I cant even remove it complete because it seems the Inside Plastic has swollen ..
It works, but it seems theres no way to remove these things without destroying them ..
I'll destroy my good one now, because I Pitty anyone buying a GM LS who would have to do this with the engine in situ ..
PS Im selling an 09 GM(Holden) R8 Maloo for $55k AUD if anyone's interested 😂
What happen if you drop a piece of plastic inside
Just watching this is pissing me off. Let me guess 1.0hr flat rate
Looks like modified engine pully puller could work.
+daniel ngatia Thanks for the feedback!
Could of used a dent puller
This poor guy 😂
Will never buy another one
This is NOT the Camshaft Position Sensor (CPS), this is the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP). The Camshaft Position Sensor is under the car above the starter.
You should learn what you're talking about before attempting to correct a mechanic and make yourself look stupid in the process. That is absolutely the cam position sensor.
Your juxtaposed idiot the camshaft is literally behind it there
Wrong
